Octavia Spencer admits her weight is not healthy

The Help star Octavia Spencer wins yet again, this time at the SAG Awards for best supporting actress. It may seem like nothing can stop this talented actress at this point, but People Magazine reports that Octavia Spencer opened up backstage at the SAG Awards to talk about her weight. “Any time you have too much around the middle, then there is a problem. [And] when you reach a certain weight, you are less valuable,” says Spencer.

Octavia Spencer couldn’t be on a better career path – but The Help star is not without some concerns about herself.

“I am not healthy at this weight,” Spencer, 39, said backstage at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, where she won a best supporting actress trophy. “Any time you have too much around the middle, then there is a problem. [And] when you reach a certain weight, you are less valuable.”

But Spencer, who also won a Golden Globe, says that Hollywood should be more accepting of actresses of different sizes, including those who are extra thin.
